I will go ahead and pass on v1 of that vaccine.
Yeah. I'm very pro vaccines, and I think we absolutely have to have one since there are lots of people, states, and even countries that won't fully open back up without one. But I can't imagine the number of corners that have to get cut to get this done.
I'm in bio pharma. From the day a manufacturing campaign is finished we take 6-9 months to release the product for human use. QA/QC is mind numbing, but we do a damn good job of it because we'd like to not kill the people we are trying to help.
You can speed a lot of things up with more money and more people, but condensing a 10 year process into 7 months would be an achievement on par with the moon landing.
